Of any legislation enacted in recent
years. Heretofore, i; has been habit
Of carriers to adjust their charges for
transportation by the competition met
with. Thus, where two competing
lines existed the transportation rate
would be less than at place where
there was no competition. even though
the latter place Was Il 100 or 500 miles
nearer the point to which the freight
was shipped. To the new law provides:
That it shall be unlawful Tor any
common carrier subject TO the pro-
visions of this act to charge or receive
any greater compensation in the
aggregate for the transportation Of
passengers or of like kind of property,
under substantially similar circumstan-
ces and conditiors, for a shorter than
for a longer distance over the same
line, in the same direction the

longer distance; but this shall not be
construed as authorizing any common
carrier. within the terms Of this act,
TO charge and receive as great com

On Saturday afternoon, Jan. 22nd, 10
SEPH SAXTON died, after an illness os q
few days second son OF Jehn SaxtoE. Esq,
In the twenty eighth year If his are.
II medical skill, kind nursing and fer
vent prayers could have stayed the hand Of
death, he would he now living, and not =
tenantofth grave. Happy must be the man,
who dies amid Ike lamentations Of all who
knew him, Of every age and sex and con
lition Of life, for they only are universally
hewailel, who had the vir-ue Of charity aud
kindness for al with whom they were
thrown in contact Judged by this rule, no
young man, who was known 10 the writer.
Of this feeble tribute, ever obeyed the mex
orable summons of death, with more cheer
ing prospects Of gaining an eternity of bliss
beyond the grave, than Joseph Saxton.
The home OF his fathers and his early child
hood, Is far distant from his last earthly
abode, nor was he surrounded in his last
moments, by those OF his OWE blood, vet
any chance witness of the closing scene,
would readily have concluded, from the
many warm and genuine tears which fell
about him, that all were bound TO him by
the closest ties Of kindred. There is no one
yet IN die in our community, whose death
would cast such gloom around as now per-
vades il, and pitiable would be the vanity of
that man, who could suppose his own death
would evoke half the tears that fell around
the grave of 10. Saxton. Alas, for the terrible
grief Of his poor brother, and the woe that
must overwhelm his aged father, my friend
in boyhood's days and ever! If pity, warm
and gushing sympathy can assnage their
sorrow, they shall not long mourn FOR him
who has been snatched from them and con-
signed 10 the tomb. They and all his
friends, have the pleasing knowledge, that
he was ever faithful 10 his religious duties,
and his last moments were comfOrted by
the ministrations of the Holy Church, and
when death came, he brought no terror for
car friend, who was calm and composed,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his
couch
About him, and lies down To pleasant
dreams"

height ofabout feet in Southern Europe
ana America, but in India reaches the
size of tree. 1t was known to and used
by the ancients. The Greeks called it
croton. The counties OF Jefferson and
Franklin, ILL.,, claim the largest acreage
devoted to it. In Southern Illinois ter
ritory of over 10000 acres is given up to
Its cultivation. To pay expenses and
yield fair remuneration the bean must
bring at least 81 % per bushel. Last
year 1t sold on an average of 81 40, and
farmers were encouraged.

to wheat and corn serves for the bean.

should be prepared for 1t the same way
as for corn. Before planting, in order that
Il may terminate properly, it must be
soaked in very warm water for twenty
tour hours. At eight seeds to hill,
bushel will plant twenty acres, and as
frost Injuries the plant, the winter should
ba well over before planting is
begun. The bean ripens In August.
Its average yield is from
fifteen TO twenty-five bushels per acre,
and in bulk weighs from forty-two to
forty-sIx pounds to the bushel.
One bushel Of beans will average gal
Ion of oil. The oil works manufacture
5000 barrels year, and the price of the
best grade now is 1Gs4c. pound, eight
pounds making a gallon. Virginia and
other States take large quantities of the
pomice, or refuse, as fertilizer. Whether
the climate OF Georgia, south Caro-
lima and Florida is favorable for the culi-
walton of the bean on a lar2e scale is I'M
determined. 1t might be well to test the
matter, as the bean is a profitable crop.
